Upper Body Lift

{Procedure} at a Glance

An upper body lift, also known as a bra line lift or back lift, is a surgical procedure designed to address sagging skin and excess fat in the upper and mid-back (much where a bra strap lies). This procedure is ideal for individuals who have experienced significant weight loss, aging, or genetic predisposition to loose skin in these areas.

Overview

An upper body lift removes excess skin and fat, improving upper back contours and reducing the appearance of a “bra bulge”.

Benefits

Downtime typically ranges from 5-7 days, with restrictions on strenuous activity and submerging in water for 6 weeks.

Results

Noticeable improvements are visible shortly after surgery, with results continuing to develop and improve for at least 12 months post-op.

Key Benefits of {Procedure}

Am I a good candidate for {procedure}?

Patients who are good candidates for an upper body lift often have loose or sagging skin across the mid and upper back after weight loss or just over time.

Excess skin and soft tissue along the upper back or bra-line region are common after significant weight loss.

An upper body lift is designed to address these concerns by removing redundant skin and improving back contour.

What do {procedure} scars look like?

The front incision for an upper body lift typically runs just beneath the breast fold or chest area, allowing the scar to be hidden under bras or fitted tops.

This placement provides optimal access for removing excess skin and achieving a lifted, firm result.

The back incision is generally placed horizontally across the upper back, following the natural bra line for concealment.

This allows for effective removal of loose skin and fat while keeping the scar discreetly positioned.
